Presto Pasta Nights #83: The round-up
2008-10-06 04:39:00
Thanks to everyone who contributed a delicious dish to this week’s Presto Pasta Nights. As expected there are fabulous ideas from all around the world, but this week Europe is under-represented. Let's start with the fun! I got the first entry from Kitchenetta of Got No Milk. She fell in love with the recipe just of Tomato Basil Cream Pasta the moment she discovered it on another blog. This pasta dish offers fresh flavors and a comforting blend of healthy and simple ingredients, cashew gives the sauce a creamy base. Daphne from More than Words shares the recipe for Plum Sauce Char Siew Fettuccine with us. Roast pork from the freezer and plum sauce from the pantry are the ingredients of this wonderful pasta dish. Mrs Ergül from Mrs Ergül in the Kitchen serves Beef Meatballs and Farfalle in Tomato Sauce. A classic combination which is always convincing. Jin Hooi from Smell & Taste are my memory whipped up something simple but delicious for dinner: Dried Orange Peel por...

Tortiglioni cacio e pepe - Tortiglioni mit Käse und Pfeffer
2008-09-20 03:34:00
Heute hatte ich so überhaupt keine Ahnung, was ich den jungen Herren zu Mittag servieren sollte, bis mir bei den üblichen hausfraulichen Tätigkeiten an einem arbeitsfreien Tag die Ausgabe Toskana der Kreativküche in die Hände fiel. Ich hatte zwar keine Rigatoni sondern nur Tortiglioni im Nudelvorrat, aber für die Norddeutsche an sich erschließt sich er Unterschied nicht wirklich. Den Pecorino habe ich durch noch vorhandenen Etorki ersetzt. Die jungen Herren waren von den Tortiglioni cacio e pepe - Tortiglioni mit Käse und Pfeffer sehr angetan. Obwohl das Rezept für 4 Portionen bemessen sein soll, reichte wie schon hier gerade für uns drei. Die Herren hätten gerne noch Nachschlag gehabt. ==========REZKONV-Rezept - RezkonvSuite v1.4Titel: Rigatoni cacio e pepe - Rigatoni mit Käse und PfefferKategorien: PastaMenge: 4 Portionen Zutaten 300Gramm Rigatoni   Salz120Gram-m Speck50ml Olivenöl   Pfeffer- aus der Mühle75Gramm Parmesan, gerieben75Gramm Pecorino, gerieben Quelle  Kre...
Pasta mit Mohnsauce
2008-09-12 20:46:00
In ihrem Kochbuch verrät Nicky ihr Rezept der Notfall-Pasta, wenn sie wenig Zeit zum Kochen aber Appetit auf Pasta hat. Das gab es aber nicht, weil keine Limetten im Haus waren. Dafür fand sich ein Päckchen Kräuter-Frischkäse von 125 g im Kühlschrank, 1 Zwiebel war auch noch da und Mohn. Daraus habe ich dann Pasta mit Mohnsauce zubereitet. Einfach nur lecker und für Mohnliebhaber bestens geeignet! Ein richtiges Rezept gibt es nicht: Die Zwiebel habe ich fein gewürfelt und in etwas Butter glasig geschwitzt, mit 125 ml Gemüsebrühe abgelöscht und Frischkäse sowie 3 EL gemahlenen Graumohn eingerührt. Gewürzt habe ich mit gehackten Blättern dieser Pflanze dieser Pflanze, das passte sehr gut. Technorati Tags: Pasta, Mohn, poppy seed

WHB #148: Red Pepper and Rosemary Lamb with Pasta
2008-09-07 21:14:00
This week this blog hosts the 148th edition of Weekend Herb Blogging. This week school has started and we all have to get back to our regular schedule. That means I have to cook a healthy lunch for the schoolboys. As always we have initial difficulties the first week and yesterday we had Red Pepper and Rosemary Lamb with Pasta I didn't read the recipe accurate enough and I had to do it on the fly. Glad, I have rosemary in my garden, its flavour fits perfectly to lamb mince. Rosemary means in the language of flowers remembrance and love. Greek students believed it improved the memory, and so they wore it in their hair when studying for exams. In France, during the Middle Ages, it was combined with juniper and burned in bunches in hospitals to kill bacteria. In my garden rosemary holds the fort against the slugs as I mentioned before. Another tale says that if a rosemary plant grows vigorously in a family's garden that it is the woman who wears the pants in the family. Y...
Pepperoni Pasta
2008-09-07 10:00:00
Has there ever been a recipe that included the word "pepperoni" that didn't get attention from my family? Probably not, they'd love anything with the stuff. In fact, one of my favorite salads is the Pizza Salad that my cousin Amber shared with us--tasty, very tasty.This pasta is heavy on the red peppers and tomatoes so there are plenty of vitamins along with the fatty pepperoni part--you might try substituting turkey pepperoni for a little less fat and whole wheat pasta for some extra healthy punch. The sauce is spicy and rich enough that it covers the whole wheat well so that if you don't tell them what you've done they'll never know.3 tablespoons olive oil1 onion, thinly diced1 tablespoon minced garlic1 red bell pepper, seeded and finely diced1 orange bell pepper, seeded and finely diced1 28-ounce can of pureed or finely diced tomatoes1 tablespoon of tomato paste1/2 cup sundried tomatoes, chopped1 teaspoon paprika8 ounces of pepperoni cut in thin strips2 tablespoons choppe...

Bertolli Premium Pasta Sauces
2008-09-04 20:00:00
I have a favorite jarred pasta sauce and I have a favorite homemade version, as well. I usually don't stray from those two and I'm a very hard sell on any other sauce.I tried the new Bertolli Premium Pasta Sauce pouches and I have to say that I would buy them again. That's huge for me; I'm very loyal - especially when it comes to particular foods.I picked up all three flavors: Champignon and Portobello Mushroom, Summer Crushed Tomato & Basil, and Sun Ripened Tomato & Olive. Of the three, which I thought were all very good, my favorite is the Sun Ripened Tomato and Olive. I just whipped up a batch of Pasta with Tuna Sauce for a post at Short Order Mom, and that particular sauce was perfect for it.I admit I balked at the idea of microwaving the pouch, which is one of the selling points for this item, but I did it and was truly surprised that it took so little time to heat completely through (90 seconds!), and the best part was that there was NO DISH TO WASH.

Saffron Orzo
2008-08-03 10:00:00
Now if you look closely at this picture you'll perhaps notice that I didn't exactly use orzo in this recipe--it called for orzo but the store was out so I ended up using tiny stars instead. You won't hold it against me? It tasted just as good.But to start at the beginning, I found this recipe through Julie at Thinking About--a wonderful blogger whom I had the thrill of meeting in person--and I swore I'd try it right away. The trouble is that saffron (if you didn't already know this) is EXPENSIVE. A little bottle like you see pictured can run close to $20 which basically means that it's cheaper to throw gold dust in your food than to use saffron.Also, if you didn't already know this tidbit as well: saffron comes from a crocus, originally native to southwest Asia, and the little orange threads in the flower turn any food they spice to a beautiful gold. As expensive as the stuff is, there really isn't a substitute for the flavor or color of saffron and I wouldn't have mad...

Bei Perfetto, der Lebensmittelabteilung eines großen Kaufhauses in Kiel haben wir Sfogliavelo mit Gorgonzola-Walnussfüllung probiert. Die Kinder waren begeistert, nur waren die Packungsgrößen nicht für im Wachstum befindliche Teenager geeignet. Also war Selbermachen angesagt, dafür kam mein Ravioliausstecher zum Einsatz. Die Ravioli mit Gorgonzola - Walnuss Füllung habe ich in Butter geschwenkt und mit geschnittenem Basilikum und gehackten Nüssen serviert. Es hat ausgesprochen gut geschmeckt.

Hillary of Chew on That is co-hosts this week's Presto Pasta Nights, which started in March 2007 by Ruth of Once Upon a Feast.It was my son's turn to prepare lunch, he had a day off school.

Presto Pasta Night #67: Mushroom Ravioli

Kevin of Closet Cooking is the first co-host of Presto Pasta Nights, which started in March 2007 by Ruth, of Once Upon a Feast. I leafed through the Essential Pasta Cookbook (German edition) and adapted the recipe on page 227 for my new ravioli maker and prepared Homemade Mushroom Ravioli just for son no. 2 and me. He liked it and me too. A similiar recipe you find here, I made mine by guess and buy gosh. I filled the homemade pasta dough with sautéed and seasoned mushrooms. The remaining mushrooms I added to chopped hazelnuts and some left over cream. Technorati Tags: presto pasta night, pasta

Presto Pasta Night #66: Homemade Ravioli with Basil Ricotta Filling
2008-06-08 00:00:00
I have to admit, I use this plastic containers for years, a shelf in the cellar is full of this stuff for freezing and refrigerating. The stuff is great, but I am afraid to buy more, because of my husband's behavior. T***ware and men don't agree. But I had to have the ravioli maker. As I promised, I didn't go to a party. I ordered it through my work-mate. I had some some pasta dough in the fridge from the lasagne. When I came home, I went straight into the kitchen, mixed together ricotta cheese parmesan cheese, egg yolks and basil pesto and rolled out the pasta. Than I followed the instructions for the T***-tool and served Homemade Ravioli with Basil Ricotta Filling My husband's comment: That was quick, you should do more ravioli. The first time he agreed with plastic from here. Recipe in German Technorati Tags: presto pasta night, pasta

My favorite pasta dish again...
2008-06-02 16:17:00
See the chunks of olives and fresh herbs. This was a great vinaigrette for the baby herb mixture!I have this little quirky thing about me. If I like the flavor of something I will eat it again and again and again. Just ask my family! It drives T. crazy sometimes but one of the advantages of being chief, cook and bottle washer is that they have to eat what I cook...he he he! This is one of those instances. The kids don't care they have been eating their pasta with just butter on it anyway so pretty much this is for me.Last night though I had bought a mixed box of organic baby herbs for the salad and just made a really light dressing using olive oil, balsamic vinegar, chopped garlic, fresh basil, oregano and salt and pepper. At the last minute I tossed in some chopped kalamata olives. Turned out yummy!I had some beautiful yellow tomatoes that got added to this delicious pasta dish!I also made my regular favorite pasta:Pasta With Fresh Tomato and Basil1 head of garlic and 2 Tb...

Pasta di peperoncino e coriandolo
2008-05-29 09:22:00
Qualche giorno fa, l'ennesimo Bank Holiday. Mia madre mi domanda: ma che festa è? Io rispondo: è la festa di primavera, non si capisce esattamente perché caschi in questo periodo visto che piove, ma quel che è sicuro è che non si lavora. Guarda caso dopo tanti giorni di ciel sereno, il Bank Holiday casca nei giorni peggiori della settimana. Sabato è l'unico giorno di sole secondo le previsioni meteo. Ne approfitto per fare un salto sul Tamigi e vedere che si combina di bello alla Tate Gallery e dintorni.Domenica e lunedì invece, pioggia continua e del tipo più antipatico: quella che non piove esattamente, ma pioviggina fitto fitto che sei comunque costretta a portare l'ombrello ma siccome c'è anche un gran vento è una battaglia persa in partenza. L'ideale per starsene a casa insomma. E invece no, lo Chef avventuroso, che altrimenti non sarebbe, dice che è il giorno giusto per andare a fare un po' di shopping. Ma sei sicuro? Piove!

Spicy Peanut Sauce Sweet Potato Pasta
2008-05-28 02:40:00
Have you ever come across an ingredient that is just so "you", you don't know what to do with it? Actually, it's not that you don't know, it's more like, there are a million and one possibilities and you can't seem to settle on the right one at the right time. That's how I felt about the Sweet Potato Pappardelle that my friends Elly and Joelen were so kind to send me. I'm sure they knew I'd have a great time coming up with something wonderful for this, and they were right. There were so many directions I could go with this, inspired by flavor combinations I know and love. Perhaps the harvest-y route with sage butter sauce and dried cranberries? Or, a southwestern spin with black beans and a creamy cilantro-jalapeno sauce? Uber-richness with a gorgonzola cream? Finally, I settled on an African-inspired combination. I recalled Cooking Light's Baked Sweet Potatoes with Spicy West-African Peanut Sauce - a recipe I have made and loved. The sauce is really delicious, and I've al...

Recipe: Leftover Chicken Pasta with Artichoke Hearts, Sun Dried Tomatoes, O
2008-05-19 16:00:00
I really thought twice about posting this recipe. It is so simple, but isn’t that what The Leftover Queen is all about? Simple, yet delicious meals using leftovers and ingredients you already have at home? I also decided to post this, because it is the first thing I actually “cooked” in my kitchen when we came back from our Honeymoon, and therefore it is sentimental, as am I. We stopped at my mom’s house on the way back from the airport to say hi and pick up our kitty. She had a nice chicken dinner ready for us. I was so food-ed out from the trip and the chicken breast was so big, that when I was full, it looked like I had barely touched it! So she wrapped it up to go - just like a good mamma! The next day, I was faced with a kitchen that was mine but unfamiliar after almost 2 weeks without really cooking. The fridge was empty, but luckily the pantry was still full of canned and jarred goods, including artichoke hearts and sun dried tomatoes. I love chicken...

Robustly spicy pasta
2008-05-16 05:08:00
Cannot quite understand why I am feeling so tired today, by the standard of weeks, life was not too crazy, also went to sleep early yesterday so frankly my dear, I have no clue why I feeling out of sorts. Thought blogging about this nice and colorful dish I concocted might actually chase away the tiredness, but no such luck, I left this post halfway and went to sleep. Decided to continue posting the next day.Anyhow, the core to this dish was some really good sausage that I had gotten from Apple Farm which is actually a really good deli and fresh cheese section, pretty decent fish and acceptable vegetables. Anyhow, back to the sausage... Sausage with peppers and vegetables Serves 4 Ingredients 1/2 lb fennel sausage3-5 tbsp olive oil1/2 tsp fennel seeds1 tsp red chili powder1 tsp crushed black pepper1 onion cut into thick slices1 green pepper cut into slices1 red pepper cut into slices1 can tomatoes (I use a fire-roasted organic can)1 tsp sugar1 tsp salt1 cup thickly chopped mushrooms...
Recipe: Pasta alla Milanese
2008-05-14 01:11:00
I’ve been getting bored of my usual vegetarian pasta dishes and so I had a little bit of a look around for some ideas, when I thought of making a Milanese-style pasta instead of risotto. The pasta uses exactly the same base as the risotto dish, but uses a large pasta. The great thing about ...
